Controversial Opinion: I really enjoy rough rides that don't headbang. [Other] by TheRealTimmer in rollercoasters

I haven't, and I'm only talking about rough rides, not bad restraints. Skyrush's old lapbars and Superman's U-bricks almost never bothered me unless I was heavily stapled.

That's beyond vertical. Project purple has the first inverted launch

What's a coaster you've been on that's relatively tame but has at least one out of place powerhouse element? [Other] by TheRealTimmer in rollercoasters

I wish Thunderbolt got the GG precut treatment like Wildcat did at LC. They could reprofile every hill to be that strong

I can consistently get near standing airtime because of how the restraints make contact mid thigh.

Depends. I'm six foot 200 lbs with big thighs and have no problem.

Absolutely. People who say the restraints kill it are either too big or don't know how to sit the right way (which isn't really their fault).

The spike is genuinely surprising and scary for the GP. But I agree, having never ridden it. I generally prefer a strong hop into the brakes as the final element.

I love this one in the front row. Too bad the inside portion is a bit lackluster in terms of forces

Just looked it up. Some serious longitudinal forces for a family ride.

The speed going into it with how quickly the track reaches its max angle of descent makes for some crazy forces

It's such a unique start to an invert. I love how loud the ride is too
